I like how dark it is tbh
Does it look that way from every angle, or is that sun/cloud-shadow angle playing tricks on it? I'm honestly baffled how the reflection in the building next door isn't dark-as-fuck like this shot angle is, so wondering if there's some multi-faceted optical illusioning going on. TBH I've never noticed it that distinct against the skyline before, but that's mostly because I'm either Red Line'ing it over the Longfellow or driving north-south on 28, not passing east-west along the River Roads. Does it not look nearly so black from those other angles?
I honestly don't know, I don't live in Boston anymore (Manhattan now) but from what I recall, it looked lighter heading to the Fenway area on Storrow so it could just be the angleDoes it look that way from every angle, or is that sun/cloud-shadow angle playing tricks on it?

Van -- as opposed to the other concrete brutalist monstrosities in Boston / Cambridge -- East Gate is on the short list for the Ash Bin of History -- it will mostly vanish from the skyline in the next 3 or so yearsThat concrete brutalist monstrosity is more interesting than this.
